Above looks fake.

Below is real.



1974 Raleigh Professional. This was the top-of-the-line production Raleigh racer, except for the Team Pro bikes. All butted Reynolds 531 frame, normally all Campagnolo, in a beautiful mink blue. In good "rider" condition, these go for $700-1,000 today.



1973 Raleigh Gran Sport. This was a mid-range sport-tourer. Nice Carlton-made Reynolds 531 frame (not sure if that includes the stays), mixed and generally decent components. Much liked for its lagoon blue-and-white paint and comfortable rider. These go for $250-400 today.
I rode one through college and law school, until it met a curb at >30 mph.
